ISM radio bands have traditionally been reserved internationally for the use of RF for Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) purposes. In recent years, the fastest-growing uses of these bands have been for short-range, low-power, communications systems. Cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, NFC devices and wireless computer networks all now use ISM.

This application note describes the co-simulation of an electrically small ISM band antenna with the matching network built from surface mounted devices. Nl AWR Design Environment software, inclusive of Microwave Office, AXIEM and Analyst'M modules, was used to design the ISM band antenna and to simulate the effect of finite PCB size and possible PCB cutouts.
